Give your mobile broadband better reception opportunities with an external directional antenna for fixed outdoor installation. Designed for compatible routers and modems operating within 800–2170 MHz, the antenna includes a 5 or 10-metre cable with an SMA male connector.
When a router’s built-in antennas provide insufficient reception, an external antenna in a better position can be a practical solution. Walls, roofing and equipment placement affect indoor reception. This directional antenna allows you to move the reception point outdoors and align towards a suitable base station, while the router remains where it is needed.
The 800–2170 MHz range includes frequencies around 800, 900, 1800, 1900 and 2100 MHz. This makes the antenna suitable for several mobile bands, provided that the equipment and network operate within the specified range. It supports compatible 4G LTE equipment, as well as 2G and 3G communication where those networks remain available.
The cast aluminium construction is intended for fixed outdoor installation. At 67 cm long with a stated weight of 0.53 kg, it offers a convenient format for users seeking directional reception without a very large antenna assembly. The included adjustable mast bracket fits poles up to 40 mm in diameter and supports antenna alignment.
Choose 5 or 10 metres of cable according to the distance between the antenna and equipment. The five-metre option suits routers positioned close to the mounting point, while the ten-metre option provides greater routing flexibility. Select the shortest length that reaches your equipment to limit cable signal loss.
This is a practical option for a fixed 4G installation in a home, holiday property or business premises using mobile bands within 800–2170 MHz. Correct positioning and careful alignment can help improve signal quality and connection stability. Actual speeds also depend on network load and router capabilities.
✅ Benefits

- Cast aluminium construction. Intended for fixed outdoor installation.
- 67 cm length and stated weight of 0.53 kg. A convenient format for mast mounting.
- Adjustable mast bracket included. Fits poles up to 40 mm in diameter.
🎯 Ideal for
- 4G routers and modems with a compatible SMA female antenna port and matching frequency support.
- Homes and holiday properties with weak reception within 800–2170 MHz.
- Fixed broadband installations where the antenna can face a suitable base station.
- Mounting on an antenna mast or wall-mounted pole.
- Installations where 5 or 10 metres of cable reaches the equipment.
🔧 Connection and use
Check that the mobile bands used at the location fall within 800–2170 MHz and that the equipment accepts an SMA male connector. The antenna does not cover frequencies such as 700, 2600 or 3500 MHz.
Install the antenna on a stable pole using the included bracket. It fits poles up to 40 mm in diameter. For the specified vertical polarisation, the antenna elements must be upright.
Connect the cable to the equipment and enable external antennas in the router settings if required.
Adjust gradually, for example in approximately 10-degree steps. Wait up to one minute between adjustments to allow signal readings to update. Compare signal quality, speed and stability before securing the final position.
The antenna provides one cable connection. A two-antenna installation for a MIMO router requires an additional suitable antenna.
Protect exposed connections against moisture, provide cable strain relief and avoid unnecessary extensions.
